Except for an irrelevant, boring college team in the complete opposite side of the country. Plus, and Terry might know this, there could be a chance they even end up coming to B12 and if so that means he'll need to scrap this game and work even harder to replace it. I don't think Terry's a dumb guy. I think if he turned this away something better could be on the table.
Plz get on the phone with Terry and tell him you see both sides of the argument. Such clear, decisive information you've provided. Plz apply to be our next AD.
This is bullshit. One of the first things Terry mentioned when he took over as AD was how desperate our OOC scheduling situation was, and used it as an excuse to schedule the Florida 2-1. He was right in that instance, he's wrong here. Since then he's scheduled a Maryland 1-1 and Sam Houston and New Hampshire. We have 3 games total scheduled between 2026 and 2030, when most P5 schools have these years mostly scheduled out. I foresee a lot more Sam Houston's and New Hampshires in our future.

I’ve been there 5 times…in the city….Olympic Natl Park, San Juan Islands, Mt Baker, North Cascades, Chelan, 3 times for Seahawk games. 4 out of 5 trips good weather.
I mean no need to be an asshole, I'm just saying I don't know the details so I can see both sides of the decision assuming it was in our best interests...but purely objectively turning down Washington 1 for 1 is a dumb move.
The fact that Washington was compared to Oregon, UCLA and USC as not being relevant is hilarious also. I mean, UCLA was mentioned as a comparison?! When were they last relevant, Tim Couch years in 1997?
I don't like any of those teams, I think they are all overrated and hyped up every year but fact remains usc and ucla ARE much more relevant than Washington otherwise they wouldn't have gotten their invites to the B10 and their phat pay days. Washington is out here begging to get invited but everyone knows Oregon is next man up.
You haven’t been paying attention, not a-typical for a casual sports fan. UCLA and USC to the B1G was solely based on the market they are in. Nothing more nothing less. Nothing to do with “relevance”.
Couch went to Kentucky im pretty sure. Aikman went to UCLA.
That argument means Maryland and Rutgers is more relevant than Clemson.
correct, but the late 90's UCLA QB he was thinking of when he said Couch was Cade McNown.
Quotes like this have to give USF fans hope. “Is their AD dumb enough to lobby for us? he hates airplanes’
Perhaps travel costs are a major issue at play here? Regardless, it’s a bad decision. Washington has fielded a respectable program; and a win there could’ve boosted our team’s morale to start the season. Sometimes, spending money is necessary and worth it.
I am completely mystified why people are acting like this is a one or the other thing. We could schedule 10 games against Washinton and not effect the Florida series.
Makes zero sense to bring it up, if Washington is talking to the league. On top of that, doubling down on saying its better to not travel out west. Essentially he is saying he wants nothing to do with Washington for football. No way he wants any other team at UCF travelling to Washington or any other PAC12 team if they join B12.
No such thing as long term. In the past 20 years how many ADs have we had and UF? I dont know UF but weve had a bunch. Every time a new guy is hired the relationship starts over. TM may not be here in 5 years. Let alone 10-20.
Ah you’re right I was thinking of Cade McNown at UCLA, another draft bust but same draft year. It was last time I remember them being both good or relevant.
I think you are not typical. most people can't afford to just grab a flight to Washington to catch a game. when they could drive to gainsvillle in less than 2 hours.
